Kenny Jackett was sacked by Wolves before the season started and Roberto Di Matteo, Nigel Pearson and Paul Trollope have gone since.

The Millers released a statement saying: "The club would like to place on record our thanks to Alan, John and Andy for their effort and professionalism, and we wish them well for the future.

"The board have now started the process of appointing a new first team manager.

"The club will be making no further comment at this stage."

Stubbs leaves the Millers rock bottom

Rotherham won an unlikely battle against relegation last season after parting company with Neil Redfearn in February and appointing Neil Warnock until the end of the campaign.

Warnock, now in charge of the Millers' Sky Bet Championship rivals Cardiff, kept the club up comfortably in the end thanks to an 11-game unbeaten run and turned down the chance to remain as manager at the New York Stadium.

Stubbs was appointed in the summer, fresh from winning the Scottish Cup and ending the club's 114-year wait for the trophy, but has won only one match as Millers boss - a 1-0 home success against Brentford in August.

The 45-year-old lost nine of his 13 league games at the helm, as well as overseeing an EFL Cup defeat to League Two side Morecambe.
